EDITORS COMMENTS
Car Mascot: A Humorous Tribute to the Brave Soldiers of WWI This charming photograph captures the spirit of the Old Bill car mascot, a beloved symbol of the early 20th century. Produced by Louis Lejeune (Mascots) Ltd, this metal figurine depicts a comically portrayed soldier, complete with a scarf draped around his neck, a moustache, and a quizzical expression. The mascot, copyrighted under number R2669204, was part of the Bairnsfather Ware collection, named after the famous British satirical cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather. The Old Bill mascot originated during World War I, a time when the British public was deeply affected by the ongoing conflict. The term "Old Bill" was a colloquialism for a British soldier, and this mascot served as a reminder of the bravery, humor, and resilience of the troops. The soldier's satirical appearance, with its exaggerated features, added a lighthearted touch to the otherwise grim realities of war. The Old Bill mascot was mounted on a metal plinth, making it a striking addition to the hood of early automobiles. This photograph, taken circa 1919, showcases the mascot in its prime, standing proudly atop a weathered plinth, a testament to the enduring legacy of the soldiers who fought in the Great War. The Old Bill car mascot remains an iconic piece of military history, a symbol of the indomitable spirit of the men and women who served during World War I.
